Question

The cell engulfs large particular matter by

• A. Pinocytosis
• B. Exocytosis
• C. Cytokinesis
• D. Phagocytosis
• E. Osmosis

Answer 1

The correct option is D Phagocytosis

Pinocytosis is the process of taking up liquid by a cell inside it just like phagocytosis.

Exocytosis is the release of the degraded matter by a cell from it's inside to the outside environment.

Cytokinesis is the division of a single cell into two by division of its cytoplasm.

A cell engulfs large particulate matter by phagocytosis. It is the process in which a cell ingests any substance present outside it by forming a cavity from its outer surface which engulfs the bacteria or any other substance inside it.

Osmosis is the process in which solvent molecules move from lower concentration towards the higher concentration through a membrane.

Hence, 'Phagocytosis' is the right answer.
